Why were the people of sub-Saharan African origin referred to as Negros?

The terms "negro, black, colored, and ethiopia" were all marks placed upon the Moors of Northwest by the Europeon nations in 1774. Black, according to science, means death. Colored means anything that has been painted, stained, varnished or dyed. Ethiopia meant something divided, though later the Romans changed their definition of the word to mean Land of the burnt faces. Negro is a name that was given to a river in Africa by Moors because it contained black water. Negro does mean black in Spanish.
